set of discution groups, or channels. Users can chat in realtime wit

IRCd is an simply IRC server for TCP/IP STinG. It allows to connect
users on Local Area NetWork (LAN) but can not connect other servers
for instance.

Caracteristics and Limitations are :

    Server can not contact others servers.

    Only 3 channels per user, but you are interested, contact-me for
     development.

    Only port 6667 is listen.

    Local clients can not send file or chat by DCC ( only remotes can
     do it ) but it can receive or be chated, I have tried to use
     client "host" setup unsuccefully :(

    Ugly interface, will be best next time.

    Some IRC limited commands are implemented :

        - NICK

        - USER

        - JOIN

        - PART

        - MODE

        - LIST [channel]

        - WHO

        - WHOIS

        - NOTICE

        - PRIVMSG

        - TOPIC

        - AWAY

        - PING/PONG timeout 2 min.

        - QUIT

    IRC commands are case insensitive.

    Channels name are case insensitive.
